You can expect depth chart orderings and notes on all 136 FBS programs for the RB position in this document.
You can find the player’s stats and profile information by clicking on their names. Incoming freshman from 2024 are denoted with ( * ), and will be updated for 2025 later this quarter.
The ordering of the charts are determined using a variety of sources, including beat reports and third party services such as Rotowire and CFB Depth. In the absence of concrete information, a best guess is made based on last year’s rotation (it’ll be clearly indicated if this is the case in the ‘note’ section).
The recruiting ranking of each player is derived from 247 Sports.
Note on injury designations:
Probable — Player suffered an injury but is practicing or expected to return soon.
Questionable — Player suffered an injury and is expected to miss significant time in spring camp and/or has yet to return from injury.
Out/OFS — Player is out indefinitely.
PPG: I have provided with each program the head coach’s and OC’s PPG average for their RB1s (half PPR). This average pulls from a sample of data between 2018 and 2023, so keep in mind that for some coaches who only have one year in that sample, the numbers could skew very high or low. Data is provided by Joe from Let Purple Reign.
SPP: In addition to the PPG numbers, using teamrankings.com I have provided the seconds per play (SPP) of each head coach and offensive coordinator from 2023. In cases where the HC/OC wasn’t a play caller last year, their SPP will be ‘NA’.
OL: Measure of returning snaps on the offensive line. These figures are provided by CFBWinningEdge.
FYI If you would like to show additional support for the work that I do, below is a button where you can “buy me a coffee”.
NOTE: Every freshman RB listed in the ON3 database has been added into the depth charts (three, four, and five star players). The PPG figures in the sub line underneath each team have been updated, but the SPP/returning OL % has not yet been updated.
